[IGDA-NYC-announce] Upcoming Conferences (and Discounts)

[Wade Tinney]

Thanks to everyone who came out to Drink Night at No Idea bar on Tuesday.
Great turnout! 

 

I wanted to remind you all about two important game industry conferences
coming up. The more support these east coast events receive, the less we'll
all have to fly across the continent. Plus, there is a special IGDA discount
available for both conferences, so read on for more details.
